In 1647, Poland stands on the brink of annihilation, besieged by the threat of fire and sword. External forces, like the Tartar hordes, sweep across the steppes, reducing cities to ashes and turning Poles into slaves. Internally, the nation grapples with betrayal as the treacherous Hmyelnitski leads the Cossacks in a brutal revolt. Yet, perhaps the greatest peril lies within, as the countrys leaders and nobility have grown selfish, complacent, and ill-prepared to confront the looming horrors. For Poland to endure, it will rely on the heroes who rise to the occasion. Among them is Yeremi Vishnovyetski, the warrior-prince destined to lead his people to victory—if only they recognize his worth. Theres the unlucky-in-love swordsman Michael Volodiyovski, unmatched in combat yet forever chasing elusive romance. Longin Podbipyenta, a towering Lithuanian, has vowed to remain single until he accomplishes an extraordinary feat in battle, a promise challenged when he falls head over heels. And then there’s Pan Zagloba, Poland’s own Falstaff, whose love for ale and self-preservation is rivaled only by his unwavering loyalty to friends. Ultimately, Polands destiny hinges on the knight Jan Skshetuski, who faces the heart-wrenching choice between protecting his beloved Helena and his duty to prince and country. With Fire and Sword is the inaugural novel of Sienkiewicz’s epic “Trilogy,” yet it stands alone as a riveting tale of courage and sacrifice. (Introduction by D. Leeson)Copyright Romance Stories
